We are really proud to have received another accolade. Being Top Rated in the LateRooms.coms Simply the Guest Awards is a fantastic recognition as it is the UK’s only hotel awards based purely on genuine guest reviews.

Following a lovely busy Christmas and New Year (with bookings already being taken for Christmas 2016), we would like to thank all our customers for their loyal support, as well as our staff for their hard work over the hectic Christmas period.

Congratulations to the ever engaging Foyster Family for snapping up the New Years Eve Champagne by winning this years’ annual picture quiz and to Mr. M. Parish for winning a free night B&B in our Grand Christmas Draw. Further prizes of a £50 restaurant voucher are won by Mr. M. Witley and a bottle of Champagne by Mrs. A. Davies.

The year ahead promises even more exciting times for the King William team, marking a fantastic 180 years of King WilliamHospitality with 11 years at the helm ourselves. Celebrations are on their way – watch this space. But first we kick off January with a variety of refurbishment projects for bedrooms and public bathrooms to maintain and improve our facilities.

In January we see the return of our popular reward vouchers where you will receive a £2.50 voucher for every £25 spent (to be used on your next visit within two weeks of the issue date). What better way to beat the January blues than a delicious meal in one of the four designated dining areas, whether cosying up in the bar, in front of the roaring log fire or unwinding with the family in the child-friendly gallery restaurant?

We hope to welcome you and your friends in support of the Astro Brain Tumour Fund at our Pie, Mash & Pudding Night on Wednesday 20 January. An excellent raffle will be held to raise further funds for this hard working charity. If you haven’t booked a table yet, please do so today for this very worthy cause.

As always, we look forward to welcoming you at The King William and hope you enjoy your visit.Cheers to a Happy & Healthy 2016!
Very best wishes,
Nick & Lili

Though Norfolk has many outstanding attributes, if we had to pick one as our absolute favourite, it would have to be the landscape. Largely unspoilt and boasting some of the most unique habitats in the country, Norfolk’s fields, beaches, marshes and lagoons help to make the county one of the most beautiful in Britain. With two of the county’s best RSPB reserves within easy reach of the King William, a day of spotting some great British birds is guaranteed to be a highlight of your trip to the region.

Snettisham and TitchwellSnettisham and Titchwell Reserves are a must-see for anyone staying in the area. Taking in one of the most beautiful stretches of the north Norfolk Coast and large, muddy expanses of The Wash, the area that the reserves cover is incredibly important for wading birds, sea birds and other British species. Snettisham is free to visit while Titchwell charges just £5 per car for non-members, making both ideal destinations for a family day out and great places to start your adventure in the Norfolk countryside.

BirdsBoth reserves boast a number of star species, with many easy to spot throughout the year. As Snettisham is located on the coast, it’s the perfect place to spot waders and other water loving birds. The pink-footed goose, the bar-tailed godwit, the avocet and the knot are all regular visitors to the reserve, with shelducks also easy to spot throughout the year. At Titchwell you’ll find a mixture of species, with the marsh harrier, the bittern, the bearded tit and the redshank some of the most exciting visitors to the area.

Visit any time of year
Both Snettisham and Titchwell offer a range of outstanding walking routes, as well as a network of hides and observation points. During big tides, Snettisham is especially popular as the rising water forces thousands of waders off of the mud flats and onto the land, providing a spectacular view for visitors to behold.
